To start off with @Zeta11  can you first try a soft reboot please.

 

Turn the phone Off and On.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

The sensor worked yesterday but then after few hours it gave me a message says an error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device.

I tried many solutions after restarting like safe mode but doesn't work still and gives me the same answer.

my phone did exactly what you have said . but i noted that it happened to mine when i used it when it's raining.  I don't know if that's a part of the problem.
